Luke 9:44-50

44

Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

45

But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

46

47

And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him,

48

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

49

50

But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."
